him.
“Who said anything about sleeping?” he asked in a husky voice.
“Kevin… please,” she tried again.
“Fine.” He let go of her and got out of the hammock so fast that he dumped her out on the veranda.
“Ow,” she said. “What the heck, Kevin.”
“I think you should go,” he said angrily. “I’m going to bed, to sleep .” He slammed into his cabana leaving Seanna sitting under the hammock.
She couldn’t hold back the tears and crying picked herself up and began walking in the moonlit night. She was still crying when Alyssa came in. Alyssa didn’t say anything and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed, but when she came out Seanna was sitting up and blowing her nose loudly.
“Do you want to talk about it?” asked Alyssa sitting on the bed next to the pile of wet Kleenex.
“Kevin can be such a jerk,” she said between blows.
“What happened?” Alyssa prompted.
“You mean what didn’t happen,” she snorted.
“So…he wanted sex,” Alyssa said getting right to the point.
“Normally, he’s pretty understanding. I explained to him early on that I was a virgin and was waiting until I got married. It helps that I make sure we aren’t alone anywhere in private, to cut down on the temptation. But tonight I went to his cabana…he said he wanted to talk…” she explained.
“And you had to tell him ‘no’,” Alyssa stated.
“He didn’t take it very well. He literally dumped me out of the hammock and slammed into his cabana.”
“And you’re hurt,” said Alyssa.
“Just a bruised behind,” answered Seanna.
“That’s not what I meant…”
Seanna started crying again. “I guess I’m not really surprised. I’ve known for some time that he isn’t who I want him to be, who I need him to be. But it’s been nice having someone that made me feel special.”
“Do you feel special now?” Alyssa asked softly.
“No,” she said wiping her eyes angrily.
“Do you love him?” asked Alyssa.
Seanna dried her eyes, took in a big breath, let it out slowly and said, “No, I guess I don’t. Why can’t he be more like Bryce?”
“Why can’t Bryce be Bryce?” asked Alyssa.
“What do you mean?” Seanna inquired.
“Well, it seems to me that if you want Kevin to be more like Bryce, that maybe you should be looking at Bryce.”
“That’s crazy! Bryce is like my big brother. Just because I like his character doesn’t mean I could ever think about him that way,” she replied, thinking that the whole idea was a little crazy.
“Ok, just a thought,” laughed Alyssa.
“Besides, I thought you two were getting along pretty good,” said Seanna.
“He’s great, I just don’t think I’m ready to jump into anything yet,” Alyssa admitted.
“You never know, sometimes love comes weather you planned on it or not. Look at Mom and Daffyd.”
Chapter 7
The Surprise
The next morning Kevin apologized for his ‘rude and uncalled for’ behavior. He was so attentive and gentle with her at breakfast that she forgave him, besides she didn’t want to hamper any excitement of the day. Today was the big preparation day. The decorations and lanterns were going up and a couple of hours of pampering and beautifying were on the schedule for all the women folk. Seanna promised herself that she would have to have a very serious talk with Kevin when they got back to Wisconsin.
While all the ladies were getting manicures and pedicures the men were greeting the six remaining guests to the island. Bryce was a little surprised to find Kevin tagging along, but excused it as boredom. Seanna’s boyfriend didn’t
